"All dictionaries are useless." This sentence is not entirely accurate, but online-dictionaries which operate according to the Wiki principle do run the danger of being useless and do you know why?Because they are compiled by users (users can basically add terms and translations themselves), who benefit from the fact that there are lots of terms in the dictionary. A translator, who has difficulties when translating, can just write something approximate and then enter this approximate something into an online-dictionary to cover his back so that his employer/editor then sees the term when he decides to make an online control check to see if the translation is acceptable. Vicious circle.I don't know if terms have managed to establish themselves in this way in the translation community, but I wouldn't be all that surprised.Bloggers aren't (trained) translators, but they can also contribute to the establishment of terminology. And this is how:By, for example, having links to other blogs on their blog, in which particular terms are used. At the same time they then use these terms themselves AND advise their readers to search for these terms with the newly added search function on their blog, whereupon the readers then find the posts containing these terms both in the blog in question and in the ones that've been linked to.I will now do that:Dear Readers, wherever you find yourselves in Alarm Clock Briatin (or elsewhere), please search for the term "Alarm Clock Britain" (with or without quotation marks with the search function which has recently been added here. If you are then offered a link to another blog, follow it! Follow it!
